This painting is small and really long/tall/skinny. I included a detail of the head area to show the looseness of the painting - the fun stuff! :) The painting is available on EveryDayOriginal.com . -this painting is sold-

..another sketch in my book of Kells sketchbook. I started the sketch
on the right side first, and the look of how the crows are shaped around
the head reminded me a bit of Klimt's “Mermaids” painting.. so the
left side was added later as sort of an homage to that painting. This is
acrylic, with a little bit of graphite – and some sanding and scraping
too. The words on the left page are from the text on the book page showing
through, which reads “the head appears in various guises”. (9x6”)

..new small painting - Mairin, oil on board, 5x7" - I've been making several of these small paintings lately. As usual for me, they all start with abstract marks and splatters, and I go from there...Will post more of them as they develop. Right now, most are still in abstract form, and I do love them in that stage - little treasures of marks and texture...
